Hotel laundry and dry cleaning in Ultimo
Ultimo is where people stay when they are here for a fortnight, not a night — a graduation at UTS, a conference at ICC, a semester that started before the lease did. Long stays fill bags fast. We collect from your building's front desk on Harris, Wattle or Bulwara and bring it back clean the next day.

Guest laundry in Ultimo
Small on hotel stock. Heavy on visitors who stay a while.
Ultimo is small on hotel stock and heavy on visitors. UTS, the largest TAFE campus in NSW, JMC Academy and the ABC's Ultimo Centre all sit inside a few blocks, and most of the accommodation here exists to serve them — parents at graduation, academics at conferences, students between leases, and ICC Sydney delegates who booked ten minutes' walk from the venue for half the price.
Those are longer stays than the CBD average, which makes a per-item laundry service genuinely economical rather than a luxury. No minimum order, $12 flat delivery, collected from your front desk. Send four shirts or send a fortnight's worth — the delivery fee does not move, which is why most Ultimo guests batch it.
Most of the stock here is apartment-style rather than full-service hotel, so the handover works slightly differently from a five-star concierge. We collect from building reception where there is one and arrange a fixed handover time where there is not. Either way, nobody waits in a room for a driver.
Hotels we service in Ultimo
The named properties inside the 2007 boundary, plus the apartment blocks and student stays around them.
Staying in an apartment or student room instead?
Ultimo has only a handful of named hotels, and far more people staying in serviced apartments, university housing and short-let blocks along Harris and Jones Streets. All of it is on the same daily route. If your address is in the 2007 postcode, book a pickup and enter the building name or street number at checkout — we will confirm the collection point with you before the driver arrives. ---
Effortless for your guests
How an Ultimo pickup works
-
Book online
Choose your building, the service and a window between 7am and 7pm. No account, no app, about two minutes.
-
Leave it at reception
Drop the bag at the desk on your way up Harris Street to UTS. No staffed desk in your building? Tell us and we will set a direct handover time instead.
-
We clean it properly
Sorted by fabric and care label, then washed, dry cleaned or pressed by garment technicians at our own facility.
-
Back to your building
Returned folded and bagged, or pressed and hung. Next day as standard, six hours on express if a ceremony is that afternoon.

Serving guests across Ultimo
Our Ultimo route covers Harris Street, Broadway, Wattle Street, Bulwara Road, Mountain Street and the Jones and Quarry Street residential blocks. We collect around the UTS campus and TAFE NSW Ultimo, past the Powerhouse Museum and the ABC Ultimo Centre, and along The Goods Line — the elevated walkway on the old rail corridor that links Central to Darling Harbour.
Ultimo also functions as ICC Sydney's value overflow: the convention centre is about ten minutes on foot, and delegates who do not want Darling Harbour rates end up here. If you are one of them, express turnaround works the same way it does across the water — six hours, concierge to concierge. The academic calendar does the rest of the work. Orientation, exam period and graduation weeks are the busiest in this suburb, and they are the weeks worth booking a day ahead.
The suburb is small enough that most guests are a few minutes from a neighbouring route. Pyrmont, Haymarket, Chippendale and Glebe are all covered by the same drivers on the same day.
Questions guests ask
Yes. Most Ultimo stock is apartment-style rather than full-service hotel, and we collect from building reception or concierge the same way. If your building has no staffed desk, tell us at booking and we will arrange a direct handover time instead. Student housing along Harris and Quarry Streets is on the same daily run and there is no minimum order.
Yes. Press and steam on express runs six hours, so a morning collection covers an afternoon ceremony. Graduation weeks are busy in this suburb — book the night before if you can. Press and steam is $8.00 an item; if the suit needs more than creases removed, dry cleaning from $15.00 on the same express window is the safer choice.
Yes, and a lot of delegates do exactly this. The convention centre is roughly ten minutes on foot across the Goods Line or through Darling Square, and your Ultimo address is on our daily run with the same six-hour express window as the Darling Harbour hotels. Book against your accommodation, not the venue.
Broadway is the practical dividing line, and it matters less than you would think — both sides are collected by the same drivers on the same day. One thing worth knowing: the hotel called The Ultimo is actually at 37 Ultimo Road in Haymarket, not in this suburb. Enter the property name at checkout and we will put it on the right run either way.
No minimum order at all. Wash and fold is $6.50 per item and delivery is a flat $12 regardless of volume, so the only thing worth doing is sending it in one batch rather than several. Everything comes back sorted, folded and bagged rather than damp and jumbled.
Yes, and you do not need to tell your hotel anything beyond leaving the bag at the desk. Guests here usually book us for price or for care: hotel laundry in Ultimo is generally sent out in bulk, whereas we sort by fabric and care label and handle delicates and tailoring individually. Every order is covered by hands-on garment care.
